The ranks of Greater Manchester Police Volunteer Cadets grew in number last night, 13 November 2017, when the latest intake’s passing out parade took place at Bolton’s Victoria Hall.
The event was attended by new recruits from cadet units across the region.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins welcomed the new cadets to the force and presented them with their certificates.
The High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Gerry Yeung OBE DL, also attended and made a speech congratulating the young people on their achievement.
The Mayor of Bolton, Councillor Roger Hayes was also amongst the special guests.
Hundreds of the new cadets friends and families packed the hall to watch the ceremony.
The Greater Manchester Police Volunteer Police Cadets were founded in 2012.
The scheme is aimed at 13- 17 year-olds and provides a programme of weekly Cadet nights filled with activity, information and – hopefully – some fun.
The aims of the scheme include:
•Promoting and encouraging a practical interest in policing among young people,
•Providing training which will encourage positive leadership within communities which will include volunteering opportunities,
•Encouraging a spirit of adventure and developing qualities of leadership and good citizenship. Cadets will be given the opportunity to obtain a Duke of Edinburgh Award, a First Aid qualification and more.
Cadet units are based in areas where there is currently little to occupy local youngsters.
Volunteers have to apply, stating their reasons for wanting to be part of the scheme and are encouraged to remain with the scheme for as long as they can.
On reaching the end of their time as a cadet, they will be given advice on careers and business, help with CVs and information about any opportunities to remain with the Force.
During a "probationary" period they experience drill, physical exercise classes and advice on subjects such as the effective and safe use of social media.
Further items on the curriculum are lessons on the law, public order awareness, phonetics and radio use, problem solving … and more drill!
The scheme's team leaders are also volunteers and include schools based officers, PCSO's, special constables and university students, all contributing their own time to run each cadet night.

How many times we have been mere observers of passing trains? How many times have we not dared take a train to unknown? How many times have we seen it leave the station without us getting on?
Life is about taking trains or waiting for another to come. Take yours. Do not stay behind. Nice Sunday to you all!!

sometimes i feel like life is passing me by at warp speed which makes me sad but then I look around and realize i am just were i need to be.
There is no drama here, just a person passing through the city, caught for a second in pale light, wrapped against the weather, carrying whatever the day has given her.
The white coat, silver hair and open space around her give the scene a quiet stillness. Behind her, the buildings feel hard and geometric. She brings the human note.
Street photography often asks us to look with care. Not to judge. Not to explain too much. Just to note that every person we pass is living a life as full and complicated as our own.
This Red-shouldered Hawk gave me a passing glance as it hunted late in the day from road sign to road sign.

I feel a mission within myself
… to pass through.
My days of collecting are over:
now I must throw all away,
to own only the feeling to rise above.
I have been summoned,
to give account for the gifts given me.
I have been taken aside
… and blessed.

Graham taking a pic of me with my old D40 & Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 while I take a pic of him with my new D7100 & Sigma 105mm macro. He was excited to use my D40 and figured it out fairly quickly. He says it belongs to him now.
First thing you have to understand is that I live in a very rural part of South Georgia where the flash of a caution light is excitement. Then what should appear overhead my house was the passing Goodyear blimp. It was a calm sunny October day when I heard this loud fan sound approaching from the north northwest. My first thought that it was a big truck up on the highway, but to my surprise it was a blimp that passed directly over my house heading towards Florida.
